If you want to enjoy Bangkok without the hassle of carrying your luggage around, there are a number of storage options to choose from – and all very reasonably priced.
Even if you want to stash your luggage somewhere for a few days, or even a week while you hop over to Laos of Cambodia with just a backpack, there’s a service you can use.
In this post, I’ll cover the luggage storage options in Bangkok, and look at the locations, pricing, payment options and security of each.
7 Best Luggage Storage Options in Bangkok
Vertoe
Vertoe is a virtual platform connecting travelers and shopkeepers, so that your luggage can be safely stored in big cities around the world.
The concept was realized after the founders experienced difficulty in finding a storage service on a multi-city trip.
The company derives its name from the Latin word ‘verto’, which means exchange or transformation.
Locations
Vertoe locations are local businesses such as hotels, restaurants, and retail shops that have extra space capable of storing your items in a safe and affordable way.
There are numerous Vertoe locations in Bangkok, notably Suvarnabhumi airport, Don Mueang airport, MBK, Central World, and Terminal 21.
Pricing
Vertoe fees start at around 190 Baht per day.
The longer you store your belongings, the larger discount you’ll receive. For example: storing for a week or more gets you a 15% discount, while a month gives you 30%.
There is no size or weight limit for luggage, but shop owners are given the right to refuse an item that weights over 35kg. In such cases, you will be fully refunded.
Payment/Sign Up
All bookings are made via the website. You simply type in your preferred location, check-in and checkout time of your luggage, and the quantity of items, and the storage locations will be revealed.
The exact addresses of the premises available to store your luggage can only be seen once your booking is confirmed. You’ll receive a booking confirmation via text message.
Security
Partners are manually verified. Shopkeepers are interviewed and the premises inspected for suitability. Data privacy is handled securely through the website, so the business owner does not see your personal information.
Upon arrival, you will be given uniquely coded tamper proof seals for your bags. Your booking is covered by an insurance policy of $5000.
One of the best features of Vertoe is the ability to enable someone else to pick up your bags. If there are multiple people in your party, you can add a guest to your booking, either when you book or afterwards.
When picking up the bags, the guest will need a copy of the booking confirmation and image of the tamper-proof seal.
Radical Storage (formerly Bagbnb)
Radical Storage is a luggage storage network established in Italy.
It was launched with the vision of creating a community that connects travelers to partner businesses that offer storage services; much the same as Vertoe.
In addition to the website, Radical Storage has a mobile app that can be downloaded from Google Play.

Radical Storage operates 3,000 locations in 300 cities, and one of those cities is Bangkok.
“Angels” is the term used for verified partner locations, which are proprietors of small or medium-sized businesses like cafes, restaurants, groceries, bars, bike shops, and even hotels.
In Bangkok, there are currently 31 Angels – strategically located near airports and close to downtown.
From both airports to Hualampong Station, MBK, Terminal 21, the Grand Palace, and Khao San Road, there’s a Radical Storage in most of the popular tourist areas.
Pricing
Pricing is fixed regardless of size and weight.
In Bangkok, Angels charge 100 Baht per bag per day.
Daily rates are calculated from 12 AM to 11:59 PM. Picking up your luggage after midnight will result in an additional daily charge.
Any luggage, regardless of size, must be declared when booking online. This is to make sure that Angels only accept the number of items indicated on the booking.
As with Vertoe, the names and addresses of Angels are kept private and can only be seen once you have make a booking.
Payment/Sign Up
Angels will only accept bookings made through the website or the mobile app.
You can book online using a PayPal account or a credit card.
You’ll receive a confirmation email that contains all your booking details. Note that reservations are considered non-refundable.
